    This one is quite common in aluminum. It's a little more elusive in copper.

    1971 Colt Peacemaker
    NRA Nation of Riflemen Medal
    International Mint

    20 gr .999 Silver
    33mm Mintage 4000


    1971ColtPeacemakerNRAOBV.JPG

    1971ColtPeacemakerNRAREV.JPG

    1873 Single Action Army revolver. Popular calibers were 44-40 and 45 Long Colt.

    High quality and attractive modern clones exist by Italian makers such as Uberti and Cimarron and are commonly used in Cowboy shooting competitions or just collected for being available at a fraction of the cost of a vintage Colt six shooter.

    But don't get caught calling a clone a "Peacemaker" or a "Colt 45" around those hard-nose modern day cowboys.
    No matter how pretty they are!

    In the 1969 classic True Grit John Wayne as Rooster Cogburn carried an 1873 SAA or "Peacemaker".

    Medals from this 30 piece set tended to tone a deep purple/blue in color. This medal No. 1366 on the edge and comes from that set which has obviously been broken up.

    1971 Winchester 94 Carbine
    NRA Nation of Riflemen Medal

    International Mint
    20 gr .999 Silver
    33mm Mintage 4000

    I imagine that Theodore Roosevelt had quite a few Model 94 Winchester rifles and carbines. It sure looks like him here with the "94".
    There are millions of Winchester 94 carbines out there. There are some that are quite valuable. Generally those made before 1964 are more desirable than newer ones, but there are many collector editions too.
    The Winchester Model 94 most commonly chambered in 30-30 Winchester has dropped more deer across, the American landscape than any other rifle or combination of rifles.

    Early Model 1894 Calibers:
    .32-40 – introduced in 1894
    .38-55 – introduced in 1894
    .25-35 – introduced in 1895
    .30 W.C.F. (30-30) – introduced in 1895
    .32 Winchester Special – introduced in 1901
    There have been more calibers since.

    I never met a 94 I didn't like.

    Roosevelt's favorite Winchester was a Model 1895 in .405.
    A completely different rifle!
    That was the rifle he took on safari in Africa to shoot really big game. He nicknamed the 1895 "Big Medicine".

    1930's Explosive Token
    of Hiawatha Utah

    UtahHiawathaExploderOBV.jpg

    UtahHiawathaExploderREV.jpg

    Explosive Token of Hiawatha, Utah
    UT-MX-21a First issue Brass 28mm ( without the G.L. Stamp Co additional lettering )

    The other issue has this small lettering to the right of ONE, which mine does not.

    UtahHiawathaExploderREV2.jpg

    So far, I have noticed they are seen equally with and without.

    This is a "Good For" token at the Carbon Emery Stores Co. Company store.
    It appears it could be a detonator, fuze, blasting cap or good for a stick of dynamite for use in the coal mines.
    What an "EXPLODER" may be? I don't know exactly but my best guess is a blasting component.

    Hiawatha, Utah founded around 1910 on a cattle ranch where about 1905 coal was discovered.
    The Carbon Coal and Coke Co established a mining business there in Carbon County. Hiawatha was a company town. The United States Fuel Company, which owned the Hiawatha mine and had its headquarters there, essentially ran the town.

    UtahHiawathaExploderArtwork.jpg

    In the 1930's over 1500 people lived there. After the 1940s, production began to drop and people moved away. The population fell from 439 in 1960, to 43 in 1990. For about 60 years mines were worked and provided a living for the thriving people of Hiawatha.
    It is a ghost town today.

    With the coal veins becoming depleted, homes and businesses were abandoned.
    Hiawatha Mines closed in 1991, the city was disincorporated on November 20, 1992 and the town was boarded up. Most buildings were torn down.
    It is estimated that around three or four families still currently live in Hiawatha.

    1932 Prosperity Lucky Coin
    Lucky Ship Token

    1932LuckyShipMedalOBV.jpg

    1932LuckyShipMedalREV.jpg


    Perhaps has an FDR 1st term "Prosperity" theme, I have seen one with 50¢ on the reverse and the same obverse as this.
    I also found one that had "Old Ironsides" on the reverse commemorating it being rebuilt in 1929-1930 and launched.

    I thought I saw an error here and figured out what it was ... well, sorta.

    This is a Great Depression era token.
    I have seen a small percentage of these with and mostly without this issue of having the "Lucky Ship" and other lettering and waves showing reversed and all inverted.
    This appears to be a clashed die, or other issue and the error people may know what caused this.

    I took and reversed my image and inverted it and you can see the "Lucky Ship" on top. Some evidence of other details also show where on others I have seen only "Lucky Ship" is evident.
    Lucky Ship also appears to be doubled.
    I don't know, do we call it doubled clashed die?
    Crazy huh?

    It might be fun to pick up other variants of this "Prosperity" lucky coin. Click, it will get a little larger.

    1975 The Lewis and Clark Expedition
    Longines Symphonette
    .925 Sterling Silver Medal
    36 gr 40mm


    1975LonginesLewisClarkSterlingOBV.jpg
    1975LonginesLewisClarkSterlingREV.jpg

    The Lewis and Clark Expedition from May 1804 to September 1806, also known as the Corps of Discovery Expedition, was the first American expedition to cross what is now the western portion of the United States.
    It began near St. Louis, made its way westward, and passed through the continental divide to reach the Pacific coast.
    The Corps of Discovery comprised a selected group of U.S. Army volunteers under the command of Captain Meriwether Lewis and his close friend, Second Lieutenant William Clark.

    President Thomas Jefferson commissioned the expedition shortly after the Louisiana Purchase in 1803 to explore and to map the newly acquired territory, to find a practical route across the western half of the continent, and to establish an American presence in this territory before Britain and other European powers tried to claim it.

    The campaign's secondary objectives were scientific and economic: to study the area's plants, animal life, and geography, and to establish trade with local Native American tribes.
    With maps, sketches, and journals in hand, the expedition returned to St. Louis to report its findings to Jefferson.
